Provide Deployment Descriptor File

  The default deployment descriptor files are:

  * <<<src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml>>> for war projects.

  * <<<target/application.xml>>> for ear projects.

  * <<<src/main/resources/META-INF/ejb-jar.xml>>> for ejb projects.

  []

  In cases where you want to provide your own descriptor files or if the
  descriptor files are located somewhere else, you can use the following on the
  command-line:

+-----
mvn idea:idea -DdeploymentDescriptorFile=src/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
+-----

  For a multiproject setup, where you'll want to have different values for this
  parameter for projects that use it, you should put the configuration values
  in their respective poms like so:

+-----
<project>
  [...]
  <build>
    [...]
    <plugins>
      [...]
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-idea-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <deploymentDescriptorFile>src/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml</deploymentDescriptorFile>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      [...]
    </plugins>
    [...]
  </build>
  [...]
</project>
